Once your plant arrives, soak the roots in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes to rehydrate them. Plant them in a container with high-quality, well-draining potting mix, ensuring the crown of the plant sits just above the soil line, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.

Marguerite daisies are sun-loving perennials that require significant light to bloom, so they generally struggle as permanent indoor houseplants. They are best suited for outdoor containers or garden beds, though they can be brought indoors to overwinter in cooler climates.

These daisies are susceptible to root rot if they sit in water. Use a potting mix amended with perlite or coarse sand to ensure excess water drains away quickly, and always choose a pot with drainage holes at the bottom.

If you are outside of USDA zones 9-11, bring your potted daisies indoors before the first frost. Place them in a bright, sunny window and reduce watering significantly, as the plant will enter a semi-dormant state and require less moisture until spring.

Yes, regular deadheading—removing the spent blooms—is essential for this plant. It encourages the daisy to direct its energy into producing new buds rather than seeds, extending your flowering season significantly.
